Scoop

Although Jon and Kate Gosselin's small-screen drama may be subsiding, Jon's woes have found a new venue: the courts. On Oct. 16, two weeks after putting a stop to the filming of Kate Plus 8—the revamped show that he claimed was detrimental to the couple's children—TLC slapped him with a breach-of-contract suit. Claiming that his recent TV appearances did not "comply with his obligations," TLC also accused Jon, 32, of using his children to manipulate his contract to end the show. As a result, sources tell Scoop, the network only has enough footage to air a couple of episodes in November before pulling it off the air—possibly for good. In addition, Jon's facing an Oct. 26 court-ordered deadline to pay back $180,000 he removed from the joint bank account he still shares with Kate, 34. He seems unfazed: On Oct. 17 he was spotted kissing girlfriend Hailey Glassman, 22, in the back of a hansom cab in Manhattan before dining at the ritzy Oak Room.

Adds another: "They're simply enjoying their friendship."

Bethenny Frankel

ENGAGED—AND PREGNANT!

When Bethenny Frankel, 38, debuted on The Real Housewives of New York City last year, she was neither a wife nor a mom. Talk about radical recasting—now she's engaged to beau Jason Hoppy and expecting her first child. Frankel is in her first trimester and craving pickles and salty olives. The wedding, she says, "could be something very sophisticated and New York or very cheesy and luauish with naked dancing." The gown? "I guess the mermaid dress is out!"

LINDSAY'S ROLLER-COASTER WEEK

MORE PROBATION

After arriving 90 minutes late to an Oct. 16 court-ordered progress report for her two D.U.I. cases, Lindsay Lohan, 23, was slapped with an extra year of probation on her existing three-year sentence (originally handed down in August 2007) by a Beverly Hills judge. Yet another miscommunication had occurred between the starlet and her D.U.I. class instructors: She failed to tell them when she was returning from work overseas.

STILL PARTYING

Just hours before her early-morning court appearance, Lohan hit up L.A. hot spot Voyeur, where she was spotted getting cozy with Balthazar Getty. The night after her court hearing, she followed up with a trip to two Hollywood clubs, partying past 4 a.m.

FEUDING PARENTS

Lindsay's parents, Dina and Michael, publicly disagreed about their daughter's well-being—and each other. Michael claimed Lindsay is abusing prescription drugs and says he's seeking conservatorship. Dina shot back, "Focus on being a parent." A source claims Lindsay will seek a restraining order against her father.

Justin Timberlake's recent trip to Las Vegas was all about the kids. On Oct. 14 the singer hosted the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, which brought out musicians Josh Kelley and former N'Syncer Chris Kirkpatrick. Three days later Timberlake hosted the JT and Friends concert at Mandalay Bay with a lineup that included Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, TLC and Taylor Swift, whom he ribbed when she hit the stage. "There's plenty of security up front," he told her, with a cheeky nod to the Kanye West fiasco. "There will be no one to come up and interrupt this set!"
